Neophyte

Monday, February 3, 2014

I'm Jeanne, I'm fourteen (15 in march!) and I live in Brussels, Belgium.

I've kept this sketchbook/diary for about a month and it's probably the best way to introduce myself.
These aren't all the drawing/texts, they're the least personal ones...

The 'shtinky boyzz'-pic is from a National Geographic article about 'beautiful (teenage) brains' . I rediscovered this NG issue a little while ago and it was great to have some scientific proof of what's happening in the somewhat crazy-going head of mine. The guys on the pic aren't texting, they're filming each other getting beat up.

The picture on the right was the first drawing in my sketchbook. I drew her on the first day of winter break. I had this kind of empty and light mood. Lana Del Rey-vibe i guess.

I quit Facebook! I felt amazing after doing that (I drew the facebook drawing, like, the day after leaving it, because I thought it would make me someone who people'd forget). Fb was such a big deal in my life before, I constantly had to proof to people that i was cool. I was just an insecure teen trying to get self-esteem out of likes. That's not the right way to make yourself feel happy. I think not being on facebook gives me so much extra time to draw and get good grades and stuff. It's a huge step in my life, seriously!
I drew the other drawing after singing 'Get Lucky' in front of my entire school.

I'm having these super long discussions with a friend about posting stuff and narcissism and Instagram and Tumblr. I'd really like to get back to that topic on Neophyte.
